Embedded Wireless Modules

EM Series
High-speed connectivity in a
future-proof form factor
Sierra Wireless AirPrime EM Series supports the latest 4G and 3G networks
in North America, Europe, and Asia. The PCI Express M.2 form factor allows
easy integration into smaller and thinner devices. Optimized for low power
consumption, the EM Series is ideal for todays mobile computing, networking,
and industrial IoT applications.

DEPLOY ON THE WORLDS FASTEST LTE NETWORKS

The EM Series supports 3G and 4G global networks, including LTE Advanced,
with automatic fallback to 3G and 2G networks depending on the module
variant.

ENABLE LOCATION BASED SERVICES

GNSS tracking lets you locate, monitor, and deploy location-based applications
and services with module variants supporting GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, and
Galileo satellite systems.

WHY BASE YOUR DESIGN ON THE

NEXT-GEN M.2?

INCORPORATE CLOUD CONNECTED SOLUTIONS

Update firmware, manage applications, and utilize product data over-the-air on
EM74xx module variants with AirVantage cloud connectivity.

Smaller and thinner

SWITCH NETWORKS ANYTIME

Future-proof form factor

The EM74xx module variants allow device manufacturers to store up to

three different firmware variants on-board, while other variants have the
same functionality via host download, simplifying logistics and supply chain
management.
